Jay Bruce called up

[2hoophead]

A plug here for a southeast Wisconsin guy, Terry Reynolds, who went to school with me back in the day. After 25 years in the Dodger organization he is with Cincinnati in his fifth season now . This blurb, in parts, from the Cincinnati Post a year and a half ago:

 

"Reynolds was named the Reds' director of player development..." (Dec 2006)

and

"Reynolds was hired by Dan O'Brien in 2004 as the director of amateur scouting and was responsible for the Reds' 2004 and 2005 drafts, which netted the organization's top two prospects, pitcher Homer Bailey in 2004 and outfielder Jay Bruce the next season."

 

Couple of good early returns on those two drafts I would say!

Quite a debut. 3 for 3 with a double and 2 walks! Wow.

[GoudaBrew]

...and a stolen base. I knew I should've started him for Matsui who went 0-5. Dumb!

I think I may be starting Mr. Bruce tomorrow for fantasy.

I was worried about the Reds before the season started. It may be worse now...

The 2005 draft was absolutely sick

The 2005 draft was absolutely sick

Big time, gonna go down as one of the best draft classes in the history of MLB.

 

1. Justin Upton 2. Alex Gordan 3. Jeff Clement 4. Ryan Zimmerman 5. Ryan Braun 7. Troy Tulowitzki 12. Jay Bruce 23. Jacoby Ellsbury 25. Matt Garza 42. Clay Buchholz

 

Not to mention some others who have not made it to the bigs yet who are probably gonna be good.

Well he already has 4 walks in 2 games in the majors. Maybe he rarely walked in the minors because he knew he would just mash everyone.

[OglivieHomePerm]

13 for 22 with 22 total bases. Not a bad start to a career.

Interesting that Colby Rasmus has been scuffling at AAA -- .220/.320/.354. But that seems to be the exception rather than the rule with this bunch.

That's unacceptable. He should be swinging away and trying to drive in runs!

So glad I picked up Bruce in my fantasy league before anyone else. Normally I always get beat to making a free agent pickup like that. Dude is straight mashing.

Just want to note that, during Upton's AB to lead off the 4th, Rock & BA were talking about this exact topic. Clearly zzzman knows baseball a heckuva lot better than he plays softball. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif
